289/288, the semitonisma, also described as the septendecimal semitones comma and septendecimal 6-cent comma, is a 17-limit (also 2.3.17 subgroup) superparticular comma of about 6 cents. It is the difference between 17/16 and 18/17, the two septendecimal semitones, as well as between 17/12 and 24/17, the two septendecimal tritones. It is also the difference between two stacked 17/16 and 9/8.

Commatic relations

This comma identifies itself as the difference between the following superparticular pairs:

It factors into the following superparticular pairs:

Temperaments

Tempering it out results in the rank-6 semitonismic temperament, or in the 2.3.17 subgroup, the rank-2 semitonic temperament. In either case the octave is split into two equal parts, each representing 17/12~24/17, and so is the whole tone, each representing 17/16~18/17. Odd edos cannot temper it out.

Etymology

The semitonisma was named by Flora Canou in 2023. It is a contraction of septendecimal semitones comma into a single word consisting of Latin semi ("half") and tonus ("tone"). However, septendecimal semitones comma and septendecimal 6-cent comma were attested much earlier.
